Mrs O’Sullivan is flying it…
As for me, I only take home the average industrial wage and not a cent more.

I have my gold plated civil service pension so I’ll be grand.
Though I was nearly 30 when I joined so would have to work til 70 to get the full thing, and fuck that. You can “buy” extra years but it’s expensive. I could afford it at the moment, and it will only get more expensive to buy years as I progress, and no doubt I won’t have space to do it later when I’ve a family. I haven’t seriously looked into it but I think that reducing the mortgage is the better bet while I have a bit of scope.
I’m 38 in a few months kid 
I still tip away with a bit of extra work now and then. Hopefully that’ll be sending me to Argentina this summer
Have it. Handy yoke.

110 posts in a few hours and nothing I didn’t know already, the usual suspects divulging the personal info while the other usual suspects say nothing but contribute drivel
I’m doing fine, I work because I love my job

Miserable sounding experience
Yes made redundant in July so got 7 months tax back so would have been marginal enough to go back to work that year.
Was entitled to job seekers for 12 months no questions asked but didnt claim a penny of it. I had an arrangement with current employer at time which complicated matters
Edgy stuff

Yeah, that can’t be your primary work strategy though. It’s a nice ace to have in your back pocket but that’s about the extent of it.

Not too bad. Renting though, which is a killer.
